Opera is a web browser that is in the process of being 
ported to many platforms, via its "Project Magic" 
initiative (see http://www.opera.com/alt_os.html).  The OS/2 
port has been on-again, off-again for well over a year.  On 
July 5th, Opera posted this update:

Negotiations went well and the leader of the teams submits 
his first update as follows:

"We hope to get the Windows Source code this week, then we 
will use our Odin32-APIs on OS/2 to do a quick port. Our 
first goal is to fix the missing items in Odin32 that we can 
port the binary version of Opera for Windows to OS/2, then 
we have everything we need to recompile the Windows source 
on OS/2 with just a few changes. OS/2 specific enhancements 
will also be included in the future.

So it looks like we're not any closer to an OS/2 port, but 
it does mean that Project Odin (aka Win32-OS/2) is more 
important than ever.
